I purchased these &amp; it won't come off my NEW chalkboard. How do you know if a chalkboard is non-porous &amp; would painting it with chalkboard paint work?

I've only used them on glass, and it comes off easily even several weeks later. I would assume the chalkboard is porous.

Hang it anyway that is conveient for your use- I have them both ways-where space permits-vetically on a narrow pantry door and horizontally in my garage. remember to condition the board before you use it- take a piece of "good " chalk and hold it sideways and rub it all over the board-first rub horizontally then vertically to coverthe board, then wipe it off lightly- your board will last for a long long time- if you didn't do it yet - It's never too late- good Luck

I have been using these for years - and I just bought a new set.... I have never had a problem peeling them off. I have used them on closet doors and a flat kitchen wall. The comment about the chalk is correct - but I purchased my own (soft) and it works perfectly. The last time I put these up I had to re-position them - and it was really easy. Perhaps I have a newer paint job than the other commentators - but I had no problems.

Because there are several chalkboards made by the Threshold brand, I can't say for sure. If the chalkboard is made of a hard plastic or vinyl, then Wonder Chalk will work, but you should always test a small area first. If the surface is porous, meaning that it absorbs, liquid chalk will stain. Slight stains can be removed with a damp white dense sponge eraser, like Magic Eraser or other brands.

I'm going to be of no help here, but I'll give it a shot. It pulled the paint right off in the living room where I used flat wall paint. In the kitchen I have a semi gloss and it did not take off the paint. This could also be the cheapness of one paint or the other, or the amount of humidity or dryness in the rooms. Best I can do. Good luck.

My white writes fine on our chalkboard.Use Dawn Power Dissolver (it's for gunked up pans and such). Works like a charm! I just did my chalk board with it and it's beautiful and easy to write on now! You should be able to get it at any grocery store or Wal-mart.

I haven't tried using this particular paint on glass before. You can get chalkboard paint for glass at a local craft store (cheaper) -- that's what I use.

It would probably not show on the chalk board. But if you use a UV light on the chalk board it would be bright enough to show through. These are permanent markers, using it on the chalk board will make it permanently there.

I haven't had a problem with this sticking to anything. however, if it is a rough surface, you may not have an easy time writing on it with chalk. You'll have all kinds of bumpy lines.

The liquid chalk markers work great for this board. I used them the whole school year. I also used the plastic covers because the chalk is not weather proof. They clean off easy with water, mild cleaner and a rag.

I use these markers all the time on my fridge and never have a problem wiping them off with a damp cloth. The only time the markers stain is if the surface absorbs water (porous). I think some people aren't sure if the surface is porous and use them without testing an area. All those trendy chalkboards they sell in home decor stores, they are porous and will get stained.

I have used this product under ordinary acrylic paint and it worked well. I used two thick coats of the magnetic paint. I can't think why it would not work with chalkboard paint.

I use the liquid chalk pens...work really well and swipe off easily with no "dust" leftover. Regular, school-board chalk works too.

I have the roll of chalkboard paper, and after I used it on my wood island, I wiped it off and put it on a tall cupboard . It's been there for weeks, and the adhesive is not showing any sign of lifting at all. To make it flat I use a rubber scraper from Pampered Chef - just happen to have that in a drawer and it was perfect for the job. Something to push out the air bubbles would be great. A fridge is actually perfect if it's just simple and flat-surfaced. I use regular chalk and it works great. Perfect idea!

I bought the Crayon Chalk, & now I cannot get it to come off. Do not use that, use regular chalk.

I just use chalk you can buy at Target or Walmart. Cleans off with no problem. About once a week I clean it with a damp cloth.

Chalk does work on this board, it must be traditional chalk, not "dustless" or "dust free" chalk. Those types have a coating or some type of binder in the chalk that makes them harder. We were able to get one of the dustless chalk sticks to work by "starting" it on a rough surface. It was like some kind of coating was rubbed off and it exposed the soft chalk.One brand that worked well was "Kids Art" from CVS Pharmacy $1.29 in a box of 20, indicates "merry brite" brand. I could not find that on Amazon when searching the name or the UPC.I agree with Kevin C, the marker that comes with the board is easier to use and cleans with water.
